The sticky at the top of reloading forum has hogden burn rate table and you should be able to get IMR from their web site. Let me know if you can't find them.

I shoot a 6mm rem. had the rifle now for almost 25 yearsand have reloaded all my ammo almost from day one , but have never steped out side the box.got distracted by a 10 year old when i was reloading and grabed the wrong powder the load calls for 35grs of h4895 I loaded 35 grs of IMR 4895. I'm thinking the H4895 is a faster powder and I should be ok.but like I say I have never stepped out side the box.any help would good .its only 20 rounds so the loss is no big deal,but i would rather shoot them than dismantle them.

I think the IMR 4895 is less pressure, seems like it is a tad slower burning
but I could be wrong.
Aah, welcome to the site justjoe

The closest match that actually compares apples to apples on Hodgdon's website is:
80 GR. SPR SP with IMR 4895, 36.5 grains=3105fps and 51,300 CUP
80 GR. SPR SP with Hodgdon H4895 39.5=3307fps and 49,400 CUP
As you can see, IMR4895 builds pressure faster than H4895. Your load of 35 grains of IMR might just be pushing the edge.

Have you found yourself yet Chambered?
I tried IMR years ago. Was not that pleased with it. I can't remember what the problem was then, but it seemed that the can it came in was a big pain in the...Or it was to dirty. However...H4831SC rocks in my .30-06...

If it was me I would pull the bullets, if you use a pulling hammer all the components are unharmed and reusable. I hate taking chances.
